Frederick held its annual Fire and Ice festival this weekend. I arrived an hour early to get a front row spot. They had two half hour shows. One at 7 and another at 8. I set my aperture at 2.8 , I played with the shutter speed 60-100 and let the camera pick the ISO with the highest set to 3200. After reviewing the pictures on the back of the camera between shows I decided on shutter speed 80 and ISO 2200 for just about all the second show . Got a lot more keepers. The light up boats are still on the creek till March and make a good backdrop, I think.
Definitely a very unique subject and very well done given all the obstacles you might have had I agree with you the boats in the background make a very good backdrop for this photo
@jgpittenger not sure how I would do that? Not being able to use a flash. You said composite so maybe bracket the shot quickly? Also hand holding with no tripod.
